Due to the abundance of incense in the Cold Mountain Temple, the two koi fish had already understood human nature. When they saw Jiujiu coming over, they actually floated to the shore and asked Jiujiu to pet them.
Since the koi fish were so attentive, Jiujiu would be letting them down if she didn't touch them.
Jiujiu walked to the shore, squatted down slightly, and gently stroked the two koi fish with her palms.
After being touched by Jiujiu, the two koi fish floated their heads out of the water even more enthusiastically. The two koi fish competed with each other like children competing for attention. It was very interesting.
In the end, Jiujiu had to use both hands to barely satisfy the two koi fish.
As she stroked the two koi fish, Jiujiu became more and more delighted.
She had raised so many furry little animals, but this was the first time she realized that bare and slippery little animals could be so interesting. Just as Jiujiu was thinking about how to take the two koi fish away secretly, a man's voice suddenly sounded behind her. "Hello, benefactor."
Jiujiu turned around and saw the monk standing behind her.
The monk was wearing a red kasaya and stood behind her with a kind face. He looked at her peacefully with a faint smile on his lips. He looked like an enlightened monk.
However.
If he was really an enlightened monk, he would naturally treat the mermaids and plants the same way. However, this monk's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw her. Even though he tried very hard to disguise himself, his fixed eyes and the way he looked up and down revealed that he wasn't as noble as he appeared to be.
Jiujiu didn't have any feelings towards monks and Daoist priests.
She had been through so many worlds and met so many different kinds of people. There were good monks and Daoist priests, and there were also bad monks and Daoist priests.
However, she had never met a person who had such a strong smell of blood on him.
Moreover, this monk looked at Jiujiu so presumptuously as soon as he appeared. It was obvious that he was a perverted monk with evil intentions.
From the way he rolled his eyes, it was easy to tell what this monk was thinking.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Jiujiu put her palms together. "Hello, Master."
Zhenghai's eyes lit up when he heard Jiujiu's voice.
Not only was she beautiful, even her voice was as clear and melodious as an oriole flying out of the valley. She was truly the best of the best.
Now, not only did he want to get his hands on this woman, he also wanted to trap her by his side for the rest of her life, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.
Zhenghai put his palms together and opened his mouth. "Miss, you have an affinity with Buddha. It would be best if you could shave your head and become a monk."
The people of Da Sheng believed in Buddhism and were extremely devout to Buddhism. If their daughters were mentioned by an eminent monk who said that they were fated with Buddhism and hoped that they could shave their heads and become monks, they would definitely agree.
But firstly, Jiujiu did not believe in Buddhism. Secondly, this monk was full of desires. His six senses were not peaceful. How could he tell who was fated with Buddha?
If she shaved her head and became a monk, who knew who would benefit?
Moreover, with Xiao Rong's personality, if he knew that Zhenghai had asked him to shave his head and become a monk, he would definitely immediately chop Zhenghai up with a knife.
Jiujiu looked at Zhenghai coldly. "Master, you're wrong. If you have Buddha in your heart, it's fine even if wine and meat penetrate your intestines. If you don't have Buddha in your heart, even if you wear a kasaya, you'll still be in hell."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, Princess Jiarong happened to come over. When she saw Jiujiu, she smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I was just asking your mother why I didn't see you, and now I've met you here."
After Princess Jiarong finished speaking, she saw Monk Zhenghai.
At this moment, Monk Zhenghai had not revealed his true face. To outsiders, he was still a famous eminent monk.
After seeing Monk Zhenghai, Princess Jiarong immediately put her palms together. "Greetings, Master Zhenghai."
Zhenghai naturally knew Princess Jiarong. After all, Princess Jiarong gave him the most money every year. This time, Princess Jiarong had come to greet him, saying that she wanted to pray for her son who was fighting outside.
When he heard Princess Jiarong talking to Jiujiu intimately, it was obvious that the two of them knew each other.
Thinking of how much Princess Jiarong valued her son, Monk Zhenghai rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.
"Princess, may I ask if you know this benefactor?"
When Princess Jiarong saw Zhenghai looking at Jiujiu, a smile instantly appeared on her face. "Of course I know her. What's the matter?"
"I see that this young benefactor is fated with Buddha. It would be great if he could shave his head and become a monk. However, this young benefactor is unwilling. If you know him, can you give him some advice and also pray for the young general?"
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Monk Zhenghai finally said that he would pray for Xiao Rong.
This was because Zhenghai knew that Xiao Rong was the most important person to Princess Jiarong.
However, what he didn't know was that Jiujiu was the girl that Xiao Rong liked.
Xiao Rong wasn't a Buddhist believer. Princess Jiarong, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child. Later, he became a ranger and killed many bandits. Later, he experienced life and death on the battlefield. If he knew that Zhenghai dared to trick his mother to make the girl he liked become a monk, he would probably kill Zhenghai and destroy the Cold Mountain Temple.
Princess Jiarong knew her child's personality the best.
If Zhenghai persuaded Li Guiqin to become a monk, Princess Jiarong might think of a way to make Li Guiqin become a monk.
However, if it was Jiujiu, Princess Jiarong wouldn't have any thoughts.
Not to mention Xiao Rong holding a grudge against her, she couldn't get over her own hurdle.
It would be a pity for such a good girl like Jiujiu to become a monk.
Princess Jiarong smiled. "This is my good-for-nothing son's fiancée. I'm afraid she can't become a monk. If you don't mind, you can treat her as a secular disciple."
Zhenghai wanted to use Princess Jiarong's power to force Jiujiu to become a monk.
However, he didn't expect that Jiujiu was the fiancée of Princess Jiarong's son. Not to mention forcing her to become a monk and letting him do whatever he wanted, even if he wanted to make a move, he had to think twice.
Zhenghai's heart instantly sank.
He looked at Princess Jiarong and then looked at Jiujiu's charming face.
Zhenghai felt like he had swallowed dozens of pounds of aged vinegar and dozens of pounds of raw coptis. It was sour and bitter.
Since he couldn't persuade her, Zhenghai could only leave.
After Zhenghai left, Princess Jiarong took Jiujiu's hand and said, "Since you have a destiny with Buddha, come with me tomorrow to pray for Xiao Rong."
Jiujiu tilted her head and looked at Zhenghai's back. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this monk wasn't the kind of person who would give up.
Moreover, this monk wanted to use Grand Princess Jia Rong to force him to become a monk. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like it was the first time he had done something like this. Although he had escaped a disaster, if he allowed this monk to continue staying here, he was afraid that more women would be harmed. It was better for him to directly remove this scourge to prevent future troubles.
"Princess, who was that monk just now?"
"That is the abbot of the Cold Mountain Temple, Master Zhenghai."
"He is the abbot?"
Although the monk seemed to have a high status, Jiujiu didn't expect him to be the abbot.
The huge Cold Mountain Temple actually found such a perverted monk to be its abbot. She was afraid that the Cold Mountain Temple was rotten to the core.
Instead of continuing to keep this rotten Cold Mountain Temple to deceive people, it was better to directly remove this hidden danger.
